Summer 2009

CBS Internship completed... A+
Meghan and Kristen Graduated... I am so old...
Took my friends wedding pictures and ending up winning a Coke Picture Competition at my internship... Free CBS 42 Umbrella and two free movie tickets. (I saw UP in 3D... SO GREAT!)
Went to Troy and have become so much closer to my roomie Elizabeth which makes me so happy!! :)
Troy also brought out some fear in me this summer as one of my dearest friends came home from his mission and I was totally worried for nothing... Well it could be something... but as of one day away from going back for the school year... It's nothing...
Went to a dance in Huntsville that ended up being pretty fun and I had some major laughs afterward thanks to Amber....
VACATION TIME... Spent three days at a family reunion in Guntersville on the lake and then one day at Smith Lake and one day at Lake Jordan... Needless to say... I was sunburned... but not as bad as Meredith... :)
Last four weeks of internship proved to be the most exciting and fulfilling of the summer... I determinedly made phone calls, research story info, talked with interesting and insightful people, and compiled information that will be used in the future at the station... ALL of which made me feel like I accomplished something this summer... Because as you read in my previous post... I was feeling quite overwhelmed by some of my tasks there...
As for the next trip to the Lake in Eufaula... It was great spending time with Amber and Meredith (and Russell too) but I am so eternally grateful for these amazing girls that God has placed in my life that I don't see how I have lived without. I love you two!
Speaking of amazing girls... Meghan dislocated her knee this summer which thankfully brought Kristen closer to us before we all leave for school and well Megs just made me feel amazing about myself everytime I visited her when she was doped up... "I love you... You look so pretty... That shirt is soo cute!" hahahaha good laughs during a harrowing situation... LOVE LOVE
Now to my most recent situation that will not be explained for it involves a boy which is not the RM but which has expressed his likeness for me and I fell into the trap that every girl falls into... A cute guy gets your number, tells you he likes you in a non-stalkerish, cute way, and then you feel obligated or special and so you must like him back... Then you get all confused because you don't really see this going anywhere but you like how it feels to be like so you go all high school on him because he didn't say "bye" to you..... WHAT THE JUNK?!?!? GIRLS THIS NEEDS TO STOP!! Boys do not need all the control in the relationship... MAKE HIM WORK FOR IT! STOP GIVING HIM WHAT HE WANTS... You will know when the time is right to sacrifice what you need to and by then... it will be worth it. Trust me. I have been through this time and again.
Oh and another thing... texting does not constitute a relationship. Talk to them face to face or call. Don't tell someone you like them over text/email/facebook. It is cowardly.

"Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee."
